Why do we retain memories if all of our cells replace themselves after a small amount of years?
In: Biology
Not all cells of our body are replaced, for example, neurons, aren’t replaced ever, they do not divide so that’s why if you lose too many you may develop some mental illness, but even if they divided the information retained would be passed onto the new cells therefore your memories would go along, skin cells, for example are replaced if they die.
